What Puppy am I using? Whichever one will work with this card and run this game.

My youngest is saying, "Remember tux racer?""When can we get that one again?""Is that running yet dad?""Did you get that on my computer yet dad?" and so on.

What puplet do you advise? i got a few frugal installs on this one, so yet another one ain't gonna matter as long as I can get this game running!

or I can put in a new one and compile or whatever, just tell me what you recommend, anyone!

I found this version of tuxracer in precise puppy beta 2 5260, it works fine with my nvidia card, don't know about your ati card though.
There are plenty of other games in the precise repos though if this won't work for you.
You need to add all the precise repos in ppm and update them, then exit and restart ppm.

But, in this case, its all about that card. ATI bites for Opengl support overall, it seems. And, in this case, its just that game my kid is looking for; he's got wesnoth and others he likes covered and the whole Xbox thing, etc.

But it's just that game.

It doesn't seem hard to get that game for whatever version of puppy I'm lookin for, certainly not as hard as gettin' that card going.

I was just leaving the door open to posters so that they might suggest any version of puplet they like for that card and/or game or any other possible combinations of the two that I hadn't thought of/knew about.

I have an ATI radeon x1600 PCI express card (in a box on the shelf), it used to work well with lupu when xorghigh was installed, most likely will work well with 3 headed dog but I don't think I ever ran it with that.

Good! That's what I'm looking for...ok, got a 4.0 I'm gonna try to get it to go today. After that fails I'm going to give it a try on lupu 520. Will post back.

I put a Lupu520 frugal on there with devx. I installed the ATI driver for the x1650 card, and i think its installed (how do I check?).

The reason I think it installed is that I re-ran xorgwizard, selected 'Choose' ('Probe' borks the X settup as it must be picking something wrong) and scroll to ATI Radeon, select 1280x1024x24 and it sets up great (x16 borks).

Again, how can i check to see if that's running?

I then tried to run 'exremetuxracer' but it said in terminal:

Code:

can't execute binary

which is a message I've never seen before.

So, at the very least, I'm looking for another version of Tuxracer.

On the plus side, this version of Puppy had a newer version of Wesnoth available and the youngest is lovin' that.

I even tried compiling from scratch but it gave an error code after I tried to run it. It looked like the version of tcl that I have may not be set up right or I didn't use the correct settings or something. Gonna look for a different one in the forums today...

I went a different route and put Lighthouse puppy on there, 5.03.
Also put the sfs's mariner and voyager from the same on there.
Worked like a charm, found the ati driver (didn't run auto config in xorgwizard but instead selected ati then radeon from a list) and set it up easily, already had tux racer and variety of other games.
Call this one solved.
